As green and beautiful as Bangladesh is, most people get stumped when asked about what the best place for a holiday would be. The springing up of several travel agencies offering tour packages inside the country is somewhat of a relief for people who prefer organized, hassle free family trips. The longest natural beach of Cox`s Bazar, the beautiful mountainous tea garden in sylhet, the mangrove forest fo sundarbans are some of the most popular tourist sports of the country.
But every year it`s Cox`s Bazar that hauls in the largest number of tourists from all over the country as well as from outside the country. With its comfortable travelling arrangements, luxury accommodations and variety of tourist attractions it`s understandable to see why . Which is where the beautiful Kuakata loses out . Lined by tall, grandiose looking palm trees Kuakata , 260 kilometres south of Dhaka and about 70 kilometres from Patuakhali dristrct headquarters is one the most beautiful sea beaches in the country. One of it`s main charms being the fact that both sunrise and sunset can be enjoyed sitting from the same place.
In the middle of November 2007, cyclone Sidr hit the south of Bangladesh. With wind speeds up to 240 km/h(150mph) and a tidal surge of up to20 feet high at some places everthing in the path of Sidr from the Sundarbans, Barguna, Mongla port,Khulna, Bhola and Barisal was flattened to the ground.
